Charlotte School Children Are No Longer To Be Referred to as "Boys" or "Girls"

My neighbors across the Catawba river are becoming progressive too rapidly for my tastes. I rarely make the 40 minute drive into downtown Charlotte anymore, but many of my friends and associates reside there and are upset that their children are being taught by the media and in school that their gender is not what their parents told them.

We have all heard about the North Carolina "Bathroom Bill" which was a response of the state to block Charlotte's local government's attempt to allow men who self-identify as women to use the "Ladies Room" and/or locker room if they so desire.

Now the Charlotte public school system is suggesting that its teachers eliminate gender-specific language altogether. The story was posted by ABC news.

"CHARLOTTE (WTVD) -- A Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools presentation to principals and counselors recommends children are not to be referred to as boys and girls, but instead as scholars and students.
READ THE COMPLETE DOCUMENT: CMS transgender student presentation (.pdf) (warning, my porn blocking software wouldn't let me open this)

Eliminating boy and girl references is one of several policies included in the CMS bully prevention regulations, WSOC reported.

One policy allows students to participate in extracurricular activities and overnight field trips based on their gender identity. A student who identifies as a girl would be allowed to participate in an 'all-girl' overnight trip.

Another policy says CMS must evaluate all gender-based activities and 'maintain only those that have clear and sound pedagogical purpose.'

Another recommendation is to avoid lining up students by a boy/girl/boy format, instead using an alphabetical, birth month or favorite color designation."

My wife's brother is a homosexual and very self-absorbed. Over the years I have taken a live and let live posture. Unfortunately they will not return the courtesy. They are desperate to be seen as normal. They will stop at nothing to get their way.

Last night a representative of the school system came on the air telling parents that they did not have a LGBT curriculum. That is not a denial of the story that educators and principles are so scared of being sued for discrimination that they are teaching themselves methods to try to avoid a lawsuit. Those methods, if used, have the effect of promoting the LGBT ideology to impressionable young minds.

Which Church Father Are You?

I'm St. Jerome!

I'm a passionate Christian, fiercely devoted to Jesus Christ and his Church. I am willing to labor long hours in the Lord’s vineyard, and I have little patience with those who are less willing or able to work as I do. My passions often carry me into temptation zones of wrath, lust, and pride.
